Little bastard put a loaded round in the chamber of a gun I knew was empty. I was showing my friend and student the rather stupid mag safety in a Bersa .380 when I pulled the trigger and heard a bang instead of a click. Eyes and ears were on, the gun was pointing downrange and I knew it was safe in that direction. Still, there is nothing quite so sphincter tightening as that &quot;Oh Crap&quot; moment though. I broke two of the rules and had a good teaching moment on why the other two are just so damned important. Also that this was a ND not an AD.Fournierhttp://www.plurk.com/p/hk1q7mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-86818076690350546372012-02-09T19:38:44.650-05:002012-02-09T19:38:44.650-05:00Jim K- I talked to an old 3rd Herd guy, he told me...Jim K- I talked to an old 3rd Herd guy, he told me when they were issued the M-16s to replace the M-14s they were told that was a &#39;requirement&#39; to dump the ejected round and not reload it.<br /><br />788- Good point!Old NFOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-79475642688485916562012-02-06T23:02:39.857-05:002012-02-06T23:02:39.857-05:00I used to do the same thing with my Beretta 1934 ....I used to do the same thing with my Beretta 1934 .32 auto..... until I noticed the imprint on the primer!

But I&#39;ll not be recycling unfired rounds in the future.<br /><br />I&#39;ve had two ND&#39;s-one was with a blank firing 1911. The sear was broken, however, I knew that it was broken, forgot, and chambered a round. I don&#39;t quite understand why at that point it didn&#39;t go full auto and empty the mag. But nobody hurt. The second was at a range, shooting a .22 mag that I had recently put a Timeny trigger into. I had opted not to Loctite the adjustment screws, and they must have loosened up. When I closed the bolt, the rifle went off. Luckily in both cases nothing was hurt except my pride. <br /><br />I was &quot;Lucky&quot; enough to witness another ND while hunting-buddy was unloading a Ruger 77, and apparently the internal magazine release is very close to the trigger. He neglected to open the bolt, dropped the mag, and touched the trigger. Once again nothing was hurt. Sobering experience though. I&#39;m glad this turned out alright for everyone involved.Jim Khttp://www.bandagesandbullets.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-23671298982252881662012-02-03T17:32:34.630-05:002012-02-03T17:32:34.630-05:00Ted- You&#39;re welcomeTed- You&#39;re welcomeOld NFOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-38854833861429251352012-02-03T12:47:49.902-05:002012-02-03T12:47:49.902-05:00Thanks for sharing, I&#39;ve never thought of that...Thanks for sharing, I&#39;ve never thought of that.

My wasn&#39;t an ND, it was a true AD, a 1911 just back from repair that still had a problem. Nonetheless, when I let the slide go, it went bang. <br /><br />It was pointed down range at the berm. I will always be grateful for the training, starting with my grandfather, that put that muzzle where it was supposed to be.ASM826http://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-22267600363533107612012-01-31T22:24:31.809-05:002012-01-31T22:24:31.809-05:00I had one when I was much younger with a 1911.

It doesn&#39;t actually sound like you disobeyed any of the 4 rules and that is exactly why everything is fine. I watched Clint Smith point that out at one time before I owned an AR and I never slam the bolt home anymore unless I&#39;m in a safe place to do so. Good point, though on the repeat bolt closures.45erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05397455410329074837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937433794177427763.post-5673764811725216002012-01-31T21:30:59.415-05:002012-01-31T21:30:59.415-05:00I&#39;ve only been shooting for a few years.

I had read a somewhere about Garands and soft primers being a bad mix. Now I have a better understanding of why.<br /><br />Also just passed the NRA Range Safety Officer class this past weekend. You&#39;ve given me another thing to keep an eye out for when I&#39;m working a firing line. And since I just took an orange hat for Appleseed it&#39;s a good bet I&#39;ll see commercial ammo being reloaded in an AR.
